I hadn't noticed how pro-cop some feddit.org users are but a cursory glance at people taking police reporting at face value and then openly defending cops punching people in the face with "it's out of context" reasoning is just surreal.
It reeks to me of living in a bubble your whole life and never having experienced police repression - so your only response is "it can't be the police, they've never done anything against me, it must be the protestors that are wrong"
Usually I'm one that hates leftist infighting but defacto trying to suppress a genocide because the "law says so" is rather weak. Still I totally understand wanting to protect yourself from repression but surely if you cared about both justice and your well being you would just hand over the community to someone else? Unless of course you actually agree with the "law"...
ah yes the classic "you made me repeatedly punch you in the face because I was afraid in my full body riot armor" - good to know the brave solders defending a genocide have loyal supporters on lemmy as well 🫶
so you combat leftist infighting with more leftist infighting? curious..
honestly most (if not all?) tankie instances are defederated so I don't understand what posts like this are trying to achieve apart from digging up off-instance drama for personal vindication
btw the top 10% is 800 million people so if you're from the west you're more than likely part of that figure.
doesn't mean it's your fault but if you're not actively doing something to prevent it then you are part of the problem..
Ugh - why does renewable energy have to be such a politicized issue - the article begins by stating that the president absolutely denied it was due to renewables - only to spend the rest of the article exploring how to handle renewable overproduction so it doesn't cause grid instability
like can we not tackle infrastructural problems without them turning into a shit flinging contest - people are afraid to say that renewables have any downsides because the fossil fuel industry spends so much on propaganda to politicize energy production - like we're supposed to argue that unless renewables are flawless there's no point in even trying
how did we go from reasonable discussions on how to most effectively solve problems (ie climate change) to making sure you don't rustle oil barron's jimmies so they don't oust you out of government?
I'm just hoping people start waking up to how ridiculous this narrative is..
"Oh you want clean air and a stable environment for you children? Have you considered changing nothing and hoping it works out?"
(ps nuclear is cool but wouldn't have solved the issue of overproduction)
googoo gaga behavior
huh? how so? she's figuring out what she wants from life and her parents are supportive of that, seems pretty wholesome? or did you mean the losers in the comments just being weird and nasty? that is pretty sad I agree
Yikes that was painful - I find it quite entertaining how magas have like 3 phrases memorized and will just shout them out over and over again (with some bible verses about the rapture sprinkled in) - it's just strange to peek into comments like those and see how literally nothing in their lives has changed in the past 10 years - the world has moved on but they're still stuck in 2014 4chan mode...
Surely no conflict of interest from a blog that sells a Bluesky powertool...
Also did the Turkish government hack Bluesky's email systems and send people emails notifying them their accounts were restricted in Turkiey or is this also "Bluesky not cooperating with Erdogan the way other platforms have."?
But even in the Far East it is known that the AfD and BSW will only indirectly influence Germany's future international positions. The SPD is seen as open to stronger economic relations, while the CDU and especially the Greens are seen as hostile. Interestingly, the Chinese party press describes the Greens as "ultra-right".
In this context the timing was perfect for everyone's domestic problems. Israel's massive protests vanished overnight. US defense spending got bipartisan support for the first time in years. Every incumbent got their foreign crisis distraction while defense contractors cashed in.
The world's eyes switched from Ukraine, domestic failures, and economic problems to picking sides in Gaza. Defense budgets exploded, energy markets destabilized profitably, and populations rallied around their governments while ignoring corruption at home.
And that totally is the playbook of disaster capitalism. Don't be a useful idiot for the war profiteers. Demand your government oppose blank-check military spending, and support peace negotiations over arms deals.
